In Epheria, you are the predators. Here, you are the prey.

Almost four hundred years have passed since the fall of The Order. Four hundred years since the empire rose. Four hundred years since the last dragon egg hatched.

In the icy wasteland of Valacia, Aeson Virandr searches for the one thing that could turn the tide of war: hope. But there is a reason no soul has ever returned from Valacia.

Hope comes at a cost—one that can only be paid in blood.

The Ice is a companion novella to The Bound and The Broken series. It is not a standalone. Previous books in the series should be listened to first.

Ryan Cahill’s The Ice is an extraordinary fantasy novel that immerses readers in a breathtaking, wintry world full of intrigue, magic, and unforgettable characters. It pulls you in from the very first page. Cahill masterfully weaves together intricate world-building, an engaging plot. Although just a short book in the series it is a important backstory and a must read.

Narration: great, amazing, perfect.
Back story: fun
Though this installment was short for a full credit, you get the length of 2 fantasy books in 1 with book 3 so this still gets 5 stars for me.

Fun back story
